There are people who will argue that all poverty is the same among all races. That “hard” in life doesn’t know the difference between races and ethnicities.
but freedom
Yet, that lie would be what most of us would refer to as something like an “alternative factoid”. It’s the self-styled truth only for those who have never had to deal with one and the same at the same time.
American laws are intended to protect white skin, ESPECIALLY if it’s rich. On the converse, it’s intent is to persecute and prosecute Black and colored skin out of compliance with whitenized belief systems, even when the darker-complected have committed no white-protected legalized crime.
Poverty, destitution, and “cruelty in life” has a race attached to it
America has never been a child-friendly nation unless you’re someone’s rich and white child. It most assuredly has never been a Black-family-friendly nation by any stretch of the imagination.
But just for starters … notwithstanding the Dred Scott Decision that decided BY LAW that a Black man is only 2/3rds of a man.
That law has not changed changed in more than fivescore and 100 years.
but freedom
Also, the lay of the land that is still in effect says ONE DROP of Black blood makes you a ‘n-&&er’. There are Black people who will benefit from their need to hide the racism, just as some whites will suffer beneath the same deal. However, let’s deal with the TRUTH and the WHOLE truth about racism and poverty in America. It lingers, even in the justice systems and in education, church, school, neighborhoods, cemeteries, funeral homes, and everywhere else you can name.
You know “all men are created equal” never applied to BLACK men, right?
The U.S. Constitution itself is racist as hell.
More than 200 years after it was written and signed, only a couple of “amendments” to it still apply with regard to the Black and the colored: voting rights and civil rights from the 1800s and 1960s.
Think about the fact that not only was WELFARE not designed for Black people. ‘We’ had to sue in courts of law across the nation just to be treated THE SAME AS poor whites on welfare. Yet those who still make up the MAJORITY of welfare recipients today are still white. And to top it all, think about how quickly poverty declined from a matter of public empathy to a matter of ‘scourge on society’ to be on welfare. And all because Black people touched it.
Back in my day, it was said “They don’t want us to have a job and they don’t want us on welfare. They want us dead. Period.” It’s still true. If we’re not servicing white skin and making them rich, they do want us dead. The laws are built to darned-near nearly guarantee it.
To this time, white people have NO issues with welfare or even corporate welfare. They have issues with Black people having the same rights as them. But they have to make some of you/us think it’s fair, just so us/you can help them keep it going.
Racist Justice: OH FREEDOM
Why would a rapist like Bill Cosby have laws changed just to accommodate his crimes and force a conviction, but a rapist like Donald Trump get elected to the highest office in the land?
Besides the fact that more than 1/10th of America is still racist as hell and still own more than their fair share of the land and resources, ask yourself …
but freedom
Why could Barack Obama have never said “I can stand in the middle of 5th Avenue in downtown New York and shoot somebody in the head and still get elected President”?
President Obama would have been strung up by his toes by both Black and white people for insulting the national white conscience in such a decrepit manner. Yet, SOME Black folks thought Trump saying it was ‘cute’ and ‘funny.’ Even his pussy-grabbing moment was a subject of strange-fruited laughter for Black females who’ve likely been raped.
NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH: FREEDOM
Oh yes, there is most definitely a difference between “hard life” when you are poor and Black and “hard life” when you are poor and white. That doesn’t even INCLUDE the way Black people INTERNALIZE poverty and use it as a weapon AGAINST ONE ANOTHER. White people latch on to Black folks’ ways against one another to gain LEVERAGE and a foothold in their own society AND simultaneously in ours.
Trust me, they understand self-destruction, divide and conquer…. and most of them help us to incite it.
In places like Chicago – the Capitol of KKK-inspired Race Wars, they put on Blackface just to commit crimes and make sure to stoke the fires of internalized hatred. And even worse, that’s a vivid reason why the racism can’t end — too many slave-minded Black folks willing to co-sign it.
Even now, many of us have close friends and relatives who already have their minds and mouths plantation ‘Jemima-Chicken-George-fixed’ to side with capitalized racists no matter what happens to the rest us.

#DONTGETTHESHITTWISTEDPEOPLE –
Race and Poverty is a “thing” in today’s America just as it was 150 years ago. Welfare was developed specifically for whites who could no longer find jobs on plantations and they still feel they own it.
That po’ white trash you see in the backwoods of America still on welfare? BLACK WOMEN are the real WELFARE QUEENS in their minds.
They will vote for a Donald Trumpy-like character just so they can STAY in poverty and guarantee their checks and food stamps while they dog us out for the same. They holla about what WE are not “entitled” to. Yet, they defy and deny Black people’s place at the same table OUR ancestors set FOR THEM.
The Playout
One particular white female who had an issue with my being a delegate to a Union Meeting in another state had no issues with her own travel junkets.
In her mind, it was ME using the Union for a “travel junket,” not HER. When this was called to her attention during a debate on my delegation, she finally sat down and shut up. But she eventually resigned and left the union for siding with me. #whiteprivilege (And I wasn’t even the one who called the question in the debate. A white man had to stand up for me. I was about to walk out and let it go. Didn’t feel up to the fight.)
But those who pull these color ruses are definitely not what anyone would refer to as a “liberal.”
oh but freedom
I guess one of the reasons they are poorer than most Black people in America is because they prefer it and will fight for their Republican right to be designated as all-American po’ white trash.
